- O God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance; They have defiled Your holy temple; They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
- They have given the dead bodies of Your servants for food to the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.
- They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem; And there was no one to bury them.
- We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to those around us.
- How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

- O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
- They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.
- They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.
- We are objects of reproach to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us.
- How long, O LORD ? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire?
